Imagine what you could achieve if only you had the discipline to stick with it even when it gets hard.

Make the desire to prove them wrong stronger than the urge to quit.

If you’re jealous of someone else’s business, just remember you are in the realm of uninformed optimism.

If the grass is greener on the other side, it’s because there’s lots of manure there.

Imagine that at the end of your life God plays you a video of who you could have been.

Let that drive your decisions today.

You can either brag or you can learn.

The one doing the talking is not the one doing the learning.

Left Twitter for 6 months when I realised I was using it for the wrong reasons (attention).

From now on will use it sparingly to make notes to self, practice brevity, document my journey & learn from others.

Do I care more about looking financially secure — or being financially secure?

Worth asking yourself this question regularly.

@RyanHoliday Silence ≠ Stupidity

Sometimes it pays to remain quiet.

Gain clarity on your thoughts – then speak if you still need to.

@wealth_director Become addicted to the process of improving yourself.

Find joy in the incremental improvement.

Don't look for material results right away.

See your progress as a result in and of itself.

@shl You can be pessimistic in the short-term about the little things — but overwhelmingly optimistic in the long-term.

Optimism is simply believing that over the balance of time, things will turn out well for you.

@PerfectGuide_ If it costs you your self-respect, it is too expensive.

Never do anything that makes you embarrassed of your own actions.

@wealth_director 3 simple life goals:

By the age of 20, you should have a good circle of friends.

By the age of 30, you should have a purpose greater than yourself.

By the age of 40, you should be well on the way to building a legacy.

@PerfectGuide_ You'll always know deep down whether you're a good person or not.

And it is only your opinion of yourself that matters.

@NavalismHQ @naval Be very selective with:

• The books you read
• The people you keep company with
• How you spend your spare time
• The projects you dedicate your energy towards
• The content you consume

These things have a major influence over how your life will turn out.

@Positive_Call The reason there are less intelligent people than you that are more successful than you is because they overthink things less.

Stop paralysing yourself with indecision.

Make a plan. Then act.

@RobertGreene Only with patience can you have consistency.

Only with consistency can you have results.

Only with results can you have progress.

It all starts with patience.

@MasculineTheory Porn strips away your masculinity.

Porn wrecks your testosterone.

Porn fries your dopamine receptors.

Avoid it at all costs.

(Those who need to hear this message the most will dismiss it.)
